05.15.25 01:11 PM

If you’re a small business with an active hiring pipeline or a team that requires a lot of HR coordination, Zoho People Plus might be the bundle you’ve been looking for.

At TechnoMap, we help growing businesses choose the right Zoho package based on who needs access and what apps they’ll actually use. Zoho People Plus is a great fit for companies that want to centralize recruiting, onboarding, employee management, and HR collaboration, without paying for tools they don’t need.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s included, what it costs, and when it makes sense over Zoho One.

What Is Zoho People Plus?

Zoho People Plus is a bundled suite of Zoho apps focused on the employee lifecycle — from recruiting and onboarding to daily team communication and HR system management.

Instead of paying for each app individually or buying a company-wide license like Zoho One, People Plus gives HR teams exactly what they need in one focused plan.

Zoho People Plus Pricing and Plans

Premium – $4.50/user/month

(Discounted with annual billing)

Includes:
  • Zoho Recruit (Standard) – Manage hiring pipelines, applications, and job postings
  • Zoho People (Premium) – Core HR features like attendance, time tracking, and leave management
  • Zoho Cliq (Free) – Internal messaging and team chat

This is ideal for small teams that need basic recruiting and HR software at a budget-friendly price.


Enterprise – $10/user/month

(Discounted with annual billing)

Includes everything in Premium, plus:
  • Zoho Recruit (Enterprise) – Advanced recruiting tools, career site customization, assessments
  • Zoho People (Enterprise) – Advanced HR workflows, shift scheduling, and approvals
  • Zoho Expense (Standard) – Employee expense reporting and reimbursements
  • Zoho Connect (Standard) – Company intranet and collaboration
  • Zoho Cliq (Enterprise) – Full-featured internal chat
  • Zoho Vault (Standard) – Secure password management for team tools

If you’re scaling or have contractors, remote teams, or frequent staff changes, the Enterprise plan gives you more flexibility and control.

Who Is Zoho People Plus Best For?

We recommend Zoho People Plus for:
  • HR departments that handle their own tools and don’t need licenses for other departments
  • Smaller companies that do a lot of hiring and staff management
  • Service businesses or teams with high turnover or lots of contractors
  • Companies that want to centralize HR operations without buying a full company-wide platform like Zoho One

If your finance, sales, and operations departments already have tools they like — or are using Zoho One separately — People Plus is a smart way to give HR teams their own toolset.

Bottom Line

Zoho People Plus is a targeted bundle designed for teams who focus on hiring, HR, and internal collaboration. Whether you’re onboarding new employees, tracking time, or handling expenses, this package gives you everything you need to support your team — at a price that scales well with smaller businesses.

At TechnoMap, we help HR teams and business owners choose the right Zoho package based on how your company actually runs.
